Tyreece Campbell stepped off the bench to fire Charlton Athletic to a vital 1-0 victory over Stoke City at The Valley, pushing the Addicks further clear of the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone.

Campbell struck decisively nine minutes from time, latching onto Lyndon Dykes’ clever flick before calmly slotting beyond Daniel Iversen after defender Ashley Phillips was left wrong‑footed.

The finish sealed an important three points for Nathan Jones’ side, who now sit seven points above the bottom three.

Stoke, meanwhile, extended their winless run to six matches despite creating a handful of promising openings.

The visitors’ frustrations deepened before the interval when full-back Bosun Lawal was forced off with a hamstring injury, adding to an already significant list of absentees.

Charlton defended resolutely throughout and took their chance when it arrived, securing a hard-fought home victory that lifts spirits in SE7 as the run-in approaches.
